virtio-blk and virtio-scsi invoke virtio_irqfd_notify() to send Used
Buffer Notifications from an IOThread. This involves an eventfd
write(2) syscall. Calling this repeatedly when completing multiple I/O
requests in a row is wasteful.
Use the defer_call() API to batch together virtio_irqfd_notify() calls
made during thread pool (aio=threads), Linux AIO (aio=native), and
io_uring (aio=io_uring) completion processing.
Behavior is unchanged for emulated devices that do not use
defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() since defer_call() immediately
invokes the callback when called outside a
defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end() region.
fio rw=randread bs=4k iodepth=64 numjobs=8 IOPS increases by ~9% with a
single IOThread and 8 vCPUs. iodepth=1 decreases by ~1% but this could
be noise. Detailed performance data and configuration specifics are
available here:
https://gitlab.com/stefanha/virt-playbooks/-/tree/blk_io_plug-irqfd
This duplicates the BH that virtio-blk uses for batching. The next
commit will remove it.

The networking subsystem may wish to use defer_call(), so move the code
to util/ where it can be reused.
As a reminder of what defer_call() does:
This API defers a function call within a defer_call_begin()/defer_call_end()
section, allowing multiple calls to batch up. This is a performance
optimization that is used in the block layer to submit several I/O requests
at once instead of individually:
defer_call_begin(); <-- start of section
...
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- deferred my_func(my_obj) call
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
defer_call(my_func, my_obj); <-- another
...
defer_call_end(); <-- end of section, my_func(my_obj) is called once

Stop using the .bdrv_co_io_plug() API because it is not multi-queue
block layer friendly. Use the new blk_io_plug_call() API to batch I/O
submission instead.
Note that a dev_max_batch check is dropped in laio_io_unplug() because
the semantics of unplug_fn() are different from .bdrv_co_unplug():
1. unplug_fn() is only called when the last blk_io_unplug() call occurs,
not every time blk_io_unplug() is called.
2. unplug_fn() is per-thread, not per-BlockDriverState, so there is no
way to get per-BlockDriverState fields like dev_max_batch.
Therefore this condition cannot be moved to laio_unplug_fn(). It is not
obvious that this condition affects performance in practice, so I am
removing it instead of trying to come up with a more complex mechanism
to preserve the condition.

Every laio_io_plug() call has a matching laio_io_unplug() call. There is
a plugged counter that tracks the number of levels of plugging and
allows for nesting.
The plugged counter must reflect the balance between laio_io_plug() and

io_submit(2) calls are skipped while plugged.

Adaptive polling measures the execution time of the polling check plus
handlers called when a polled event becomes ready. Handlers can take a
significant amount of time, making it look like polling was running for
a long time when in fact the event handler was running for a long time.
For example, on Linux the io_submit(2) syscall invoked when a virtio-blk
device's virtqueue becomes ready can take 10s of microseconds. This
can exceed the default polling interval (32 microseconds) and cause
adaptive polling to stop polling.
By excluding the handler's execution time from the polling check we make
the adaptive polling calculation more accurate. As a result, the event
loop now stays in polling mode where previously it would have fallen
back to file descriptor monitoring.
The following data was collected with virtio-blk num-queues=2
event_idx=off using an IOThread. Before:
168k IOPS, IOThread syscalls:
9837.115 ( 0.020 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 16, iocbpp: 0x7fcb9f937db0) = 16

9837.161 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8) = 8
9837.163 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 ppoll(ufds: 0x7fcb90002800, nfds: 4, tsp: 0x7fcb9f1342d0, sigsetsize: 8) = 3
9837.164 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 107, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.174 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 105, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.176 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 106, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.209 ( 0.035 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fca7d0cebe0) = 32
174k IOPS (+3.6%), IOThread syscalls:
9809.566 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0cdd62be0) = 32
9809.625 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8
9809.627 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8
9809.663 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0d0388b50) = 32
Notice that ppoll(2) and eventfd read(2) syscalls are eliminated because
the IOThread stays in polling mode instead of falling back to file
descriptor monitoring.
As usual, polling is not implemented on Windows so this patch ignores
the new io_poll_read() callback in aio-win32.c.

When there are multiple queues attached to the same AIO context,
some requests may experience high latency, since in the worst case
the AIO engine queue is only flushed when it is full (MAX_EVENTS) or
there are no more queues plugged.
Commit 2558cb8dd4 ("linux-aio: increasing MAX_EVENTS to a larger
hardcoded value") changed MAX_EVENTS from 128 to 1024, to increase
the number of in-flight requests. But this change also increased
the potential maximum batch to 1024 elements.
When there is a single queue attached to the AIO context, the issue
is mitigated from laio_io_unplug() that will flush the queue every
time is invoked since there can't be others queue plugged.
Let's use the new `aio-max-batch` IOThread parameter to mitigate
this issue, limiting the number of requests in a batch.
We also define a default value (32): this value is obtained running
some benchmarks and it represents a good tradeoff between the latency
increase while a request is queued and the cost of the io_submit(2)
system call.

Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):
--v-- description start --v--
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
array member [1], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
Linux codebase from now on.
--^-- description end --^--
Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7).
All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following Coccinelle script:

maximum outstanding requests at a time is always less than or equal
to 128.
This patch simply increase MAX_EVENTS to a larger hardcoded value of

In qemu_laio_process_completions_and_submit, the AioContext is acquired
before the ioq_submit iteration and after qemu_laio_process_completions,
but the latter is not thread safe either.
This change avoids a number of random crashes when the Main Thread and
an IO Thread collide processing completions for the same AioContext.
This is an example of such crash:
- The IO Thread is trying to acquire the AioContext at aio_co_enter,
which evidences that it didn't lock it before:

laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context().
To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called
early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The
signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems
preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing
initialization calls.
Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a
LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context
callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a
new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for
any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the
device is already in-use by the guest.
Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.

Commit 0ed93d84ed ("linux-aio: process
completions from ioq_submit()") added an optimization that processes
completions each time ioq_submit() returns with requests in flight.
This commit introduces a "Co-routine re-entered recursively" error which
can be triggered with -drive format=qcow2,aio=native.

It turned out that re-entrant ioq_submit() and completion processing
between three requests caused this error. The following check is not
sufficient to prevent recursively entering coroutines:
if (laiocb->co != qemu_coroutine_self()) {
qemu_coroutine_enter(laiocb->co);
}
As the following coroutine backtrace shows, not just the current
coroutine (self) can be entered. There might also be other coroutines
that are currently entered and transferred control due to the qcow2 lock

Use the new qemu_coroutine_entered() function instead of comparing
against qemu_coroutine_self(). This is correct because:
1. If a coroutine is not entered then it must have yielded to wait for
I/O completion. It is therefore safe to enter.
2. If a coroutine is entered then it must be in

would be yielded while waiting for I/O completion. Therefore it will
check laio->ret and return from ioq_submit() instead of yielding,
i.e. it's guaranteed not to hang.

In order to reduce completion latency it makes sense to harvest completed
requests ASAP. Very fast backend device can complete requests just after
submission, so it is worth trying to check ring buffer in order to peek
completed requests directly after io_submit() has been called.
Indeed, this patch reduces the completions latencies and increases the
overall throughput, e.g. the following is the percentiles of number of
completed requests at once:
1th 10th 20th 30th 40th 50th 60th 70th 80th 90th 99.99th
Before 2 4 42 112 128 128 128 128 128 128 128
After 1 1 4 14 33 45 47 48 50 51 108
That means, that before the current patch is applied the ring buffer is
observed as full (128 requests were consumed at once) in 60% of calls.
After patch is applied the distribution of number of completed requests
is "smoother" and the queue (requests in-flight) is almost never full.
The fio read results are the following (write results are almost the
same and are not showed here):

AIO context in userspace is represented as a simple ring buffer, which
can be consumed directly without entering the kernel, which obviously
can bring some performance gain. QEMU does not use timeout value for
waiting for events completions, so we can consume all events from
userspace.

It is generally not expected that io_submit() fails other than with
-EAGAIN, but corner cases like SELinux refusing I/O when permissions are
revoked are still possible. In this case, we shouldn't abort, but just
return an I/O error for the request.

Invoking io_setup(MAX_EVENTS) we ask kernel to create ring buffer for us
with specified number of events. But kernel ring buffer allocation logic
is a bit tricky (ring buffer is page size aligned + some percpu allocation
are required) so eventually more than requested events number is allocated.
From a userspace side we have to follow the convention and should not try
to io_submit() more or logic, which consumes completed events, should be
changed accordingly. The pitfall is in the following sequence:
MAX_EVENTS = 128
io_setup(MAX_EVENTS)
io_submit(MAX_EVENTS)
io_submit(MAX_EVENTS)
/* now 256 events are in-flight */
io_getevents(MAX_EVENTS) = 128
/* we can handle only 128 events at once, to be sure
* that nothing is pended the io_getevents(MAX_EVENTS)
* call must be invoked once more or hang will happen. */
To prevent the hang or reiteration of io_getevents() call this patch
restricts the number of in-flights, which is now limited to MAX_EVENTS.

squash! linux-aio: share one LinuxAioState within an AioContext
In practice the entry argument is always known at creation time, and
it is confusing that sometimes qemu_coroutine_enter is used with a
non-NULL argument to re-enter a coroutine (this happens in
block/sheepdog.c and tests/test-coroutine.c). So pass the opaque value
at creation time, for consistency with e.g. aio_bh_new.
Mostly done with the following semantic patch:
@ entry1 @
expression entry, arg, co;
@@
- co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);
@ entry2 @
expression entry, arg;
identifier co;
@@
- Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry);
+ Coroutine *co = qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg);
...
- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, arg);

@ entry3 @

+ qemu_coroutine_enter(qemu_coroutine_create(entry, arg));
@ reentry @
expression co;

- qemu_coroutine_enter(co, NULL);
+ qemu_coroutine_enter(co);
except for the aforementioned few places where the semantic patch
stumbled (as expected) and for test_co_queue, which would otherwise
produce an uninitialized variable warning.

Partial write most likely means that there is not space rather than
"something wrong happens". Thus it would be more natural to return
ENOSPC rather than EINVAL.
The problem actually happens with NBD server, which has reported EINVAL
rather then ENOSPC on the first error using its protocol, which makes
report to the user wrong.

linux-aio uses a BH in order to make sure that the remaining completions
are processed even in nested event loops of completion callbacks in
order to avoid deadlocks.
There is no need, however, to have the BH overhead for the first call
into qemu_laio_completion_bh() or after all pending completions have
already been processed. Therefore, this patch calls directly into
qemu_laio_completion_bh() in qemu_laio_completion_cb() and cancels
the BH after qemu_laio_completion_bh() has processed all pending
completions.

on non-O_DIRECT images, like it already (and previously incorrectly)
claimed in bs->request_alignment.
For some block drivers this means that a RMW cycle can be avoided when

In order to use the modern byte-based .bdrv_co_preadv/pwritev()
interface, this patch switches raw-posix to coroutine-based interfaces
as a first step. In terms of semantics and performance, it doesn't make
a difference with the existing code whether we go from a coroutine to a
callback-based interface already in block/io.c or only in linux-aio.c
As there have been concerns in the past that this change may be a step
in the wrong direction with respect to a possible AIO fast path, the
old callback-based interface for linux-aio is left around and can be
reactivated when a fast path (e.g. directly from virtio-blk dataplane,
bypassing the whole block layer) is implemented.
